It has been a crap of a day! I ask if you could send me prayers and thoughts... I just need it... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047/page/2#post-459300 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:23:18 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 459300@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>WWM, clueless in not a dwarf, but I had a cat named that! I used to day she was the dingy blonde of the cat world. All blue eyes and good looks and not a single clue! The big sale sounds like a lot of fun! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047/page/2#post-459275 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:34:58 +0000 WillowandWindismom 459275@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh, Gini - you sure don't need to be out in bad weather. Actually, you need to be in bed with a hot water bottle... or a kitty.</p> <p>We just came back from the warehouse where the Texas Size Garage sale will be starting tomorrow for Meals-on-Wheels. We are both working as "wrappers" in the antique section, which is where we've worked for four years now. We went to lay out our wrapping paper, get sacks ready, etc. for tomorrow. But then I made the bad mistake of looking around and so came home with stuff that I really don't need. I'm a sucker for handmade pottery and I found a beautiful casserole dish for $10. And a few other things. Mr. WWM just looked at me and shook his head. When we got home I was sort of rearranged drawers in the kitchen and found a whole set of cutlery that we bought at the sale two years ago but have never used. Guess what's getting donated back? Actually, it's pretty ugly and I have no clue why we bought it in the first place.</p> <p>See, Clueless! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047/page/2#post-459239 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:21:07 +0000 Kilroy 459239@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW, I would be irate if I were you, and I agree, your boss should cover any overdrafts that result. Grrrr, how evil.</p> <p>Gini, I'm sorry you're having such a yuck day. Please, stop into a Duane Reade and buy an umbrella. [note: Duane Reade = drugstore that seems to exists on every corner in NYC]. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047/page/2#post-459231 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:10:32 +0000 Cheri 12/22 459231@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I have just gotten up. i didn't fall asleep until 4:30 am. the first step on the road to new life will be to wake/sleep more normal hours. i will start this tonight... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047/page/2#post-459224 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:59:14 +0000 ginirosaru 459224@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh man, today keeps getting worse. First I went to German. I had to take a quiz that I didn't really understand. My teacher would also not accept yesterday's homework even though I was out sick with a 102 degree fever. Then I realized I needed ink to print out papers due tonight for another class. Staples is 15 blocks from school. I walked in the 42 degree weather and pouring rain to staples and realized I don't know my printer model and couldn't get the ink. Then I had to walk home and after 20 minutes in the pouring freezing rain I just feel more sick than ever. Not to mention, I have to look up the printer ink now and go back to get it. Oh, did I mention I don't own an umbrella? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047#post-459209 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:40:02 +0000 2 Popoki 459209@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>How very frustrating! I would hope that Boss plans to cover any and all overdraft charges as a result of the 'cheques crossing.' I worked for a company briefly where pay checks were bounced. Not fun !!! </p> <p>Enjoy the pub ! Have a couple of stiff cold ones :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047#post-459201 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:26:19 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 459201@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well, I rang my Boss, got his voicemail, left a message. Then rang colleague who got paid same day to warn him, only to find Boss had already spoken to him earlier!!!!!!!!! So why the (unfluffy word) didn'e he ring me too? Boss then responded to my message, said bank had rung him today to say they were returning a couple of cheques which had crossed with another payment out, but didn;t say which cheques they were. He says he can't do anything now til the morning. So. Tomorrow morning could be interesting...</p> <p>We're off to the pub quiz now, was in two minds about going before, but now I need something to distract me before I punch a wall or two!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047#post-459193 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:14:35 +0000 2 Popoki 459193@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>OMG MCW !!! I, too, would be furious ! What is your plan of attack on this? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047#post-459186 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:59:25 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 459186@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Grouch Cafe??!! OK, wasn't grouchy earlier, but am now! Just been to check my bank account online, and found out that my pay cheque - paid to me LATE last Friday has now BOUNCED!! I am FURIOUS!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047#post-459182 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:50:40 +0000 jeankit 459182@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ha ha...White Russian whichever kind coming right up for Vicki!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047#post-459181 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:49:07 +0000 2 Popoki 459181@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Vicki - sorry about PH not giving you the space you need. Remember - Men speak a different language than we do... LOL Can you send him off on an errand so you can re-center? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047#post-459173 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:34:47 +0000 Vicki 459173@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>AAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH! PH is getting on my nerves, running off at the mouth! If I want to talk about something different or if I don't want to talk or listen or if I can't talk or listen to what he has to say at the moment, he still feels the need to continue the conversation. This really p!$$es me off when I'm in my bathtub or in the car (as I am a captive audience, as it were). I need moments of quiet to gather my thoughts and relieve what anxiety may be starting up at the moment; I've tried to tell him this for eight years now, but he won't get it through his rock head. (Could his schizophrenia have affected his ability to be sensitive to others' needs and boundaries?) I think I found a huge component in my current writer's block: I can't gather my thoughts because he won't STFU long enough for me to do so! Can you tell I'm a tad grouchy right now and I could use a White Russian right now? (OK, so he doesn't have to be Russian... ;) ) It's not that time of the month for me; I'm just in a really bad mood right now. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047#post-459172 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:32:54 +0000 JoanfromNewJersey 459172@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yikes! It's raining where I am now, but it's snowing up on the mountain. Probably those big wet flakes. Should be an interesting ride home later...<br /> *picks up and snuggles a little tabby kitten while humming Paul Simon's "Slip Sliding Away..."* </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047#post-459166 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:19:31 +0000 GreatDane 459166@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Good afternoon, all. I'm not grouchy, either. I may be because I've been spending an awful lot of time with GG since the bed bugs took over my place.<br /> Good for you with all the smiling, WWM! GG asked me the other day whyI am always in such a good mood and always sem to be happy - probably because of him :)</p> <p>I skipped pictures at the gym to run 45 minutes up to West Palm Beach with Panera Friend to take pictures and meet and greet for a new men's league she had starting up today. Met her for breakfat at Panera first and then drove up there.<br /> Now I'm waiting for a dog-sitting client to call me in about 10 minutes and then I may try and take a nap before goig into work.</p> <p>Sorry about all the grouchiness today - hope tomorrow's better for everyone! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047#post-459163 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:09:13 +0000 WillowandWindismom 459163@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yay, Kilroy!

I am not on the grumpy couch today either. A bit Sleepy though. Was up in time to get my son to work only to have him call and say he's not going in ... sounded awful. So I had an extra hour to get ready. Would have preferred the extra sleep - but I'm sure he would prefer to not be sick! I left a bag outside his door with a thermometer, Day-Quil and Night-Quil. Hopefully he'll be feeling better soon.</p> <p>AZDeb - those tourist slogans were a hoot !!

I'm not grouchy but can I come into the cafe anyway? I guess that I'll be Happy today. I had a friend once who told me that the only people who smile as much as I do are the ones who don't have a clue. Was Clueless one of the seven dwarfs?</p> <p>I'm not a coffee drinker but I bought myself a treat at the store yesterday. It's one of those international coffee mixes and it's dark chocolate. Yummy!!!</p> <p>All right, all you grouches....Okay, so a Texan rancher comes upon a farmer from Maine. The Texan looks at the Mainer and asks, "Say, how much land you think you got here?" Mainer: 'Bout 10 acres I'd say." Texan (boasting): Well, on my lot, it takes me all day to drive completely around my property!" Mainer: "Yep, I got one of them trucks too."</p> <p>I know.... it's lame..... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047#post-459113 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:03:14 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 459113@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW, sorry to hear that, hope it gets better later in the day.</p> <p>For a small smile, <a href="http://current.newsweek.com/budgettravel/2009/10/best_and_worst_tourism_slogans.html?wpisrc=newsletter" rel="nofollow">http://current.newsweek.com/budgettravel/2009/10/best_and_worst_tourism_slogans.html?wpisrc=newsletter</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047#post-459108 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 07:45:12 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 459108@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well, I did end up staying home today, neck was in no fit state for driving this morning. Boss was fine, and I am getting some stuff done, but not as much as I would have done if I'd made it in. Will have to play catch up this weekend. I could do with a small/light warm kitten around my neck please! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047#post-459106 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 07:41:32 +0000 jeankit 459106@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Aww Joan, I need that to get going...thanks!

I woke up and luckily my fever is now down to 99 (it got to a high of 102.7 yesterday). However, I still have a clogged nose, my throat hurts, my chest hurts, and I am coughing up stuff. To make matters worse, my landlord has not turned on the heat in the building for the season yet even though the high today is 46 degrees and its going to pour outside. I'm so so so cold and it is not helping this sickness at all.</p> <p>I have a quiz today in one of my classes and 2 papers due in another and I have yoga which I really shouldn't participate in due to still feeling terrible but my grade will suffer if I don't so I don't know what to do. The absentee policy is really not fair at all for that class. It's not my fault if I'm genuinely sick. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047#post-459086 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 07:10:57 +0000 Kilroy 459086@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well, count me in the grumpy group today, as I had to come in 2 hours early for an HR seminar on appropriate behavior in the workplace.

Since May of this year was when it all started. Apparently I -may- have been adding too much fiber too quickly (I was up around 20-25 grams and trying to add those last 5-10 grams to get to 30) when I first began having backaches that wouldn't go away when I'd walk for awhile. Even if I bent over to touch my toes, to stretch my back, the backache wouldn't go away. When the loose stools began, it got even worse. Maybe now that I've let things settle down, I can slowly add fiber again. I might not be one of those people who can eat a whole lot of fiber every day. (I did put some Benefiber into my unpasteurized apple cider this morning; wish me luck)</p> <p>But some of the Fiber One cereals are REALLY GOOD. The Caramel Delight reminds me of a General Mills Golden Grahams cereal, and there's another Fiber One cereal that looks like Captain Crunch...without all the sugar that would make my teeth ache! (lol).</p> <p>Don't sweat the holiday card list, MC....we're not even to Halloween yet :-) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22047#post-459069 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 05:30:32 +0000 LadyKat of IA 459069@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hello! Am I the only one who feels pretty good today?! Am I Happy or Dopey? LOL!<br /> MC, so glad the girls are starting to warm up to each other. Don't worry about the card list. I send my cards out anytime after Thanksgiving, so you have a month to get it prepared. It's just great that you are doing this.<br /> Siobhan, hope the extra scan and bloodwork will be of help. You've been dealing with this for a long time. </p>
